Hi Mahesh, I am developing a website monitoring tool, it basically reads all the web URL from app.config file and checks if they are working fine or not, if the application finds any error the it sends an email message and text message (SMS) to appropriate person.

Hello Mahesh I am RadhikaDevi. I have created an application in vb.net, so that it does a particular work when the timer is elapsed. But it needs the application to be in running state. When i close the application, the event doesnot occur. I have to create an application and run the application. But the condition is i have to select the time and date using datetimepicker. I want to make the application alive even after the system is shutdown. Is it possible?
